  I don't understand the details of the code, but I see some
hard-coded values and a lot of assembler.  Many exploits depend on
things like buffer sizes and offsets, so switching to a different word
size may mean the code would need to be tweaked.  Or maybe vmsplice
has a completely different implementation on x86-64.
